Minstrel™ HT UV: High-throughput crystal imaging for protein crystallography
The Minstrel HT UV imaging system from Rigaku is the world's first high throughput UV imaging and protein monitoring system. The Minstrel HT UV is built upon the platform of Rigaku's state-of-the-art imaging and analysis system, and uses both visible and UV fluorescence microscopy to successfully monitor crystal growth by distinguishing protein crystals from non-protein crystals, such as salt.
The Minstrel HT UV features:
- Highest OPTICAL resolution available for combined visible and UV spectrum
imaging systems employing 5.1 Megapixel CCD and a single optical train with
superior optics and optical quality- Allows users to detect crystals where visible imaging falls short
- Programmable LED lighting (bright and dark field), now with UV LED Clean
Light
Technology™- New UV Clean Light Technology LEDs allow users to "strobe" UV light, eliminating photo damage to sample
- UV Clean Light Technology brings no additional heat to well
- UV Clean Light Technology allows users to focus light only on sample of interest
- Monochromatic and color imaging in visible spectrum
- Polarization
- Multi-slice capability with combined image capability
- Compatible with hanging drop and sitting drop plates
- Current Minstrel HT systems are upgradeable to the new Minstrel HT UV
